Airlines for Europe (A4E)’s Post

Aviation is committed to decarbonisation, but Europe is falling behind in scaling up Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Without decisive action, increasing SAF imports will drive up costs for consumers, weaken energy independence, and shift clean energy jobs outside the EU. A new report by ICF, commissioned by Europe’s aviation industry, outlines seven key measures to fast-track SAF production and ensure Europe leads in this emerging sector. Among them: 📌 Risk-sharing mechanisms (e.g., Contracts for Difference) to unlock investment and lower costs. 📌 Stronger financial support for advanced SAF facilities through grants and loans. 📌 Prioritising access to feedstocks and renewable electricity to ensure competitive SAF production. 📌 Refining existing policies (ReFuelEU flexibility, ETS allowances) to create a stable market. The Clean Industrial Deal and Sustainable Transport Investment Plan represent key moments for European policymakers to act. With the right measures in place, Europe can strengthen its SAF industry, secure its leadership in clean aviation, and support a competitive energy transition.
